Looks to me like you were killed by a crystal spear, maybe if you had put even more points into shields hmm? Don't blame the gong, man. Don't blame the gong...

Re: Why shield of the gong is bad

Gong is great in zigs where noise of blocking is not that important. But I cannot imagine a good way to use it somewhere else.

It looks as it you were killed by two crystal spears in a row, did you not have an action between? Or did you like move or something after the first one?

Re: Why shield of the gong is bad

I love the Gong, its awesome amounts of AC on your shield hand, can be a huge deal for some characters. The noise generally doesnt bother me, you play as if you worshipped Qaz, but can take the noisemaker off.

I like to remove it for branch ends where you can ill-afford to bring the entire level to the stair. I learned this the hard way by entering V:5 with it cursed for Ash. (killed)

It is pretty funny that everyone who has said Gong is good also mentions, in the same post, about a time it directly contributed to a character's death.

Re: Why shield of the gong is bad

I think Gong can be good only for character with high AC and low EV. With high EV you don't need SH that much because many attacks miss you anyway, with low AC you cannot ignore most monsters which come after you.

Re: Why shield of the gong is bad

Note that while it's inaccurate and changes depending on the background noise of the dungeon branch you're in, those noise values are roughly equal to number of tiles away that can hear you. Noises don't go through walls, but can go around them at the cost of having to cross more tiles, so if you ever ended up on those completely open levels that are roughly circles, a noise of 40 is basically the entire floor hearing you and heads directly to the location of the noise.

This ballpark of 1 noise=1tile is probably more and more inaccurate the larger the value gets, and levels with a lot more walls/twists will prevent the sound from getting all the way across, but it's pretty bad.

Re: Why shield of the gong is bad

It is especially bad because, unlike all (except for the pretty rare alarm trap) of those other things, you don't really have control over when the Gong makes the noise, when you are wearing it. And while shatter/fire storm/etc. are loud, a character that makes noise with fire storm or shatter is, well, able to cast fire storm or shatter.

yes i did move instead of zapping wand of hw, because of webtiles lag, but i didnt mention it in the original post because it would shift the blame from shield to me

Re: Why shield of the gong is bad

I had acquirement give me the gong once, but I was running a VSSu with 0 shield skill at the time so I didn't use it. Later he died of unrelated reasons. That's my gong story.

Re: Why shield of the gong is bad

Yeah, Gong is strictly situational, not something you want to have on at all times without proper planning.

I love using it on Elf though, getting elves lined up before me on a killhole, waiting for their dose of GONG.

Would only consider using it on Vaults:5 if I had Tornado/Disaster Area or something of the sort online and I really wanted to go on a power trip
